- Who is Grafana BYOC best for?
- Grafana BYOC is built for large enterprises with high telemetry volumes and complex observability needs. It requires a long-term (3-year minimum) commitment and an upfront license cost, making it most cost-effective for organizations at scale that want to keep their data in their own cloud accounts and control costs over time.
- What cloud service providers (CSPs) are supported?
- We support AWS and Google Cloud Platform (Azure available case-by-case) for BYOC deployments.
- How is Grafana BYOC different from Grafana Cloud?
Grafana Cloud and Grafana BYOC offer the same fully managed observability stack, with the same features and capabilities. The difference is where it runs and how infrastructure costs are handled:
- Grafana Cloud: Runs in Grafana Labs’ accounts and infrastructure costs are included in your subscription.
- Grafana BYOC: Runs in your own AWS or GCP account (Azure available case-by-case). You pay the infrastructure bill directly, which lets you take advantage of any discounts, credits, or commitments you’ve negotiated with your cloud provider.
